Program Overview

The Train-the-Trainer program based on What Type of Leader Are You? is highly interactive, competency and feedback based, and elegantly intertwines both leadership and Enneagram theory and practice. A powerful way to develop leaders, the 190-page Trainer's Guide provides a detailed description of exactly how to facilitate more than 50 different leadership development activities.

Enneagram Learning Communities

Each participant is a member of an Enneagram Learning Community for the entire week, a small learning group that explores each leadership competency, shares how it relates to his or her Enneagram style, and learns self-development approaches to enhance capability in this area. Each participant leads one or more Learning Communities!

Large Group Exercises

Every leadership competency section also includes dynamic, larger group activities that illuminate the specific competency and the particular way in which leaders of each Enneagram style have related strengths, development areas, and unique development paths.

Leverage Your Leadership

This section covers general leadership style as an outgrowth of a leader's Enneagram style, complete with slide shows and case studies.

Drive for Results

This competency highlights the importance of focusing on more than just the end results, because then it might be too late: setting direction, creating plans, assigning work, establishing clear expectations with measurements and rewards, evaluating results at key milestones, and providing overall stewardship also matter.

Strive for Self-Mastery

Self-mastery is central to all other leadership competencies. But what does it mean? Leaders explore the 6 dimensions of self-mastery - from self-awareness to personality integration - through dialogue, support, and self-development.

Know the Business: Think & Act Strategically

Every organizational leader must know the business and think like a strategist in this constantly changing business world. Some do it naturally, others must learn it, but all leaders can use the Enneagram to master the 11 components of this competency.

Become an Excellent Communicator

All leaders must do this effectively every day, with individuals and in groups both large and small. This practical competence shows leaders how to create genuine relationships. communicate clearly, listen fully, manage conflict and give feedback, and how to enhance their influence.

Lead High-Performing Teams

This program has a strong team emphasis, both through the use of a high-performing team competency model that covers products and services, culture, leadership, vision, talent architecture and processes, but also through an in-depth assessment of the project teams within the program.

Make Optimal Decisions

Learn how to access more fully the Head, Heart, and Body Centers of Intelligence in order to make wise decisions, but in the context of the organization's culture, authority-making structure, and the specific contextual requirements of the decision itself.

Take Charge of Change

Change has become a way of life for leaders: constant, chronic, and continuous change. Leaders have to do more than manage change, they must be change leaders, but also make certain that ongoing business needs are well met. This competency shows leaders how to do that using the Enneagram as their guide.

Stretch Your Leadership Paradigms

Rather than leaders having to grow when they are under pressure and stress, the Enneagram can help them engage in targeted-development activities on an ongoing basis. This sets up a leadership culture of strategic leadership excellence and growth.
